Amber, Do you press on the spine itself with the main part of your hand? And can you tell where you placing the page? I've found when I place the book in the middle and lining up with the bottom rather than either edge, and press firmly on the spine I don't get cut-off words. I just finished scanning t0 pages of a large 495-page book and didn't have a problem. smile hth Cindy --- Amber Wallenstein <amber.wallens@xxxxxxxxx> wrote: > Hi all: > I get all of my books from the library.
